Stone Circle Life is a highway

Aurelia was still figuring things out.
She was still getting used to the whole lot of responsabilities she now had as a pack wolf.
Not that she was complaining or that things were particularly hard, it was just strange for the generally reserved and elusive banshee to find herself making a home among so many strangers. Even though Valette had told her from the very start Easthollow was a family oriented pack, which hinted relations among members were tight knit as if they truly were family, Aurelia still had to overcome the 'out of place' feelings that kept her shyly at the margins.

She still didn't know most of her packmates, and she definitely didn't know the small girl that began to approach the frozen lake next to which the Lockhart had decided to take a small break from patrolling. She watched her silently, wondering if the child too had seen her but she soon found her answer as she watched the young one take a step back and jump over the frozen surface without even glancing her way. 

Aurelia watched her with a smile, the girl's giggles becoming contagious as she too began to laugh softly.
She let a few minutes go by without interrupting the dark-furred babe's play before the fun the girl seemed to be having became just irresistible to the child-hearted Lockhart. She stood up and blew her cover as she directed a small yap the girl's way, then slowly she began to step into the frozen ice rink that had become of the lake, her movements at first hesitant as she tested the ice's resistance.

"hi" she barked as she slid closer to the girl, a smile beaming from her face.
